Tam Hostel Saigon Reviews

Location and Contact

Location

• Hostel Address: 65/4 Thu Khoa Huan. Ben Thanh Ward. District 1
• Taxi Directions to the Hostel from Tan Son Nhat Airport:
• 1. When leaving the terminal building follow the signs for ‘Taxi Stand’ and walk straight there. Ignore all other people in the airport who try to offer you a ride, including people who might look official. If you have to talk to them, tell them that: 'I have already booked a taxi.'
• 2. In the ‘Taxi Stand’ line, only get into taxis that say 'MAI LINH' (green cars) or 'VINASUN' (white cars with red and green stripes). They are the more reputable companies in our experience.
• 3. Before you get into a taxi tell the driver the address of the hostel: Tam Hostel Saigon - 65/4 Thu Khoa Huan. Ben Thanh Ward. District 1.
• 4. Then let them know that you want a fixed price of 150,000 VND (including the 10,000 airport fee, which the driver needs to pay to leave the airport). If they are not willing to take you to the hostel for that price, then ask another driver. It will not take long to find a driver who will take you for that price (as it is fair for the length of the trip).
• 5. The ride itself should take around 20 minutes depending on traffic.
• 6. Tipping is optional and you should not feel pressured to tip unless the service was excellent.
• 7. Please note that Vietnamese bills can be confusing and some of the bills look very similar. Take your time to count the money that you give the driver and any change that you receive from the driver. Giving exact change is always best and appreciated by drivers.
• 8. The driver will drop you off in front of an alley with a ‘Tam Hostel’ sign on the gate. Walk straight down the alley and go left at the dead end. The hostel is on the right.
• 9. If the driver does not seem to understand where the hostel is you can show this message (which is in Vietnamese) to the taxi driver to avoid any misunderstandings: 'Tôi trả 150,000 VND (khoảng $7 USD) đến 65 Thủ Khoa Huân. Quận 1. Giá bao gồm cả phí sân bay. Cám ơn'.
• 10. Another option is to download the Grab App (before the flight as the airport wifi may not be good) and order a Grab Car to take you from the terminal building to the hostel. As the Grab price varies with demand check first to see what the price is before ordering. You will need internet access for this option.
• You can purchase a SIM card in the terminal, but ordering a Grab should work with the airport wifi.
• See you soon :)
